It’s been a very busy few days, hearing-wise, but good days. \u00a0If you asked me a few days ago, I’d have said I want my old hearing aids back, that the new ones may be\u00a0great, but they’re not great for me. Thank goodness my wonderful audiologist (WA) and Darling Handsome Hubby (DHH) wouldn’t give up and they\u00a0wouldn’t let me give up either. \u00a0WA\u00a0 called in a specialist from Phonak and together, they made many adjustments to the hearing aids. \u00a0(As an aside, which I so often do, it’s amazing how much computing power is in those things. \u00a0We’ve come a long way, technology!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anyway, they adjusted my new hearing aids and holy mackerel, what a difference.\u00a0I’m pretty sure I’ll still need some more adjustments, but for the first time since I got them, I know I want to keep them. \u00a0Hello my new slippers. \u00a0We’re going to have a great time together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On another note – no segue today – I said in my last blog I’d introduce our new puppy. \u00a0Hudson is almost 11 months old now and he joined our family at 9 weeks old. He and Brooklyn have become quite the team and he absolutely worships her. \u00a0I’ll include a couple of pictures of him (one with Brooklyn behind him.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Even at this young age, Hudson has tuned into me and knows I can’t hear. \u00a0I don’t know how, but from the start, without any special training at all, \u00a0he started using his paws and nose to get my attention. \u00a0When we’re out walking, he’s on special alert, watching all directions and planting himself between anyone coming in my direction and me. \u00a0He’s become my shadow, my protector, and my little clown and he’s not even a year old yet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He likes to study\u00a0Brooklyn and watch what she does, choosing what he wants to copy and what he doesn’t. \u00a0Sometimes he looks at her like she’s from another planet, but most of the time he looks at her with such love and devotion, it melts our hearts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At first Brooklyn\u00a0treated him like a very welcome guest, but didn’t seem to realize he was staying. \u00a0As soon as she realized he’s part of our family, she became an incredibly wonderful big sister to him. \u00a0She’s teaching him and believe it or not, she’s learning from him too. \u00a0She’s such an amazing, wonderful girl, and there’s no question that she’s the family Princess.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There’s a special joy in watching them play together, knowing how happy they are\u00a0and\u00a0how much they love each other and us. \u00a0There’s not a day that we don’t laugh thanks to these two. \u00a0We feel so lucky and\u00a0blessed to have them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Though none of my dogs have\u00a0been trained to be assistive dogs, they’ve all somehow learned it themselves. \u00a0We knew this was an extremely sensitive and intelligent breed, but we never stop being delighted by just how much.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New can be scary,\u00a0but it’s up to us to make it work. \u00a0Once we get used to it, new is the new old and that can be ok. \u00a0 And now, our new pup, Hudson.<\/p>\n
